The gyrations of the US dollar took centre stage in the financial markets last week, especially when US Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin appeared to differ with President Donald Trump on the administration’s short and long-term objectives for the currency. In a highly unusual development, European Central Bank president Mario Draghi added to the turmoil by admonishing the US administration for breaching the spirit of recent international agreements on currency manipulation.
美元震蕩成為上周金融市場的焦點,特別是當美國財長史蒂芬?姆努欽(Steven Mnuchin)似乎在短期和長期匯率目標上與美國總統(tǒng)唐納德?特朗普(Donald Trump)意見相左的時候。歐洲央行(ECB)行長馬里奧?德拉吉(Mario Draghi)極為罕見地批評美國政府違背近期在匯率操縱問題上達成的國際共識中的精神,這加劇了美元的動蕩。
